know the position for this turnout. Press the OPTN t Key
to
move the switch to the “thrown” position
OR
the CLOC c Key
to move it to the “closed” position.
6. If the switch you selected is a turnout connected to an accessory
decoder, it will change position from closed to thrown or vice-versa.
If the switch you selected is an op switch setting for your command
station, the software switch inside the command station will be
changed.
7. After commanding the switch “closed” or “thrown” the switch posi-
tion display will stop flashing, since the command station now
knows the current switch position.
Note that the accessory decoders in the system are accessible to all throttles or
control devices with switch control capabilities & are not reserved in-use to a
single throttle like locomotive decoders.
8. When you have finished your Sw (switch) operations you can return
to Fn (Normal Operating Mode) by pressing the EXIT Key
or
the FUNC Key
.
9. The next time you enter Sw mode , the DT400 will remember where
you left off & start at the last switch address & position you
accessed.
17.0 Edit Fast Clock, Routes, etc.
The DT400 throttle can edit system functions like the fast clock and routes.
Both of these features can be enabled or disabled by your command station.
Digitrax command stations ship with fast clock enabled and routes disabled.
17.1 Fast Clock Basics
Many operators use a fast clock during operating sessions to simulate prototyp-
ical operations. Traditionally, this clock is on the wall and is set up to run at a
faster than normal rate. LocoNet has its own networked fast clock for all
Digitrax throttles connected to your system.
The fast clock display is a 4 digit 12 or 24 Hour format clock. To display the
fast clock simply press the CLOC c Key
. The fast clock display will
remain active while you are running trains until you initiate another throttle
task such as loco address selection, programming, MU, Switch mode, etc. To
stop displaying the fast clock and return to the default DT400 display, press the
